Transitioning Towards Quality-of-Care Assessment in Orthotics and Prosthetics Practice.

WHAT IT FOUND

No finding to act on.

This is an expert guidance piece on how orthotics and prosthetics should measure quality of care. It reports no patients and no outcomes.

What this paper is

This is a special communication, which means it is expert guidance rather than a research study. It sets out what quality of care means for orthotics and prosthetics, describes existing frameworks such as the Institute of Medicine's six domains and the Triple Aim, lists organisations that supply quality-measurement resources, and suggests roles and action items for orthotic and prosthetic organisations, researchers, manufacturers, clinic owners, clinicians, patients and educators. It reports no patients, no interventions and no outcomes, so there is no result here to change your practice on. The action items are proposals for the profession to adopt, not tested interventions.
